Years ago, I was on a train ride into the city when I noticed a family getting on the train. There were two little girls, their mum, and her friend, all of them with big bags. From what it looked like, they were going to be away for several days. One of the girls sat next to an old gentleman, who started talking with her.

As the train ride went on, the little girl said that they were on their way to the children’s hospital in the city, where her sister Hayley was receiving treatment. Without asking more about it, the man spoke with the girls on and off during the journey.

Towards the end of the ride, the man started writing something on a piece of paper. As the train stopped at his station, he walked over to the girl’s mum and handed her a check, saying, “That’s for Hayley.” Then he got off the train before anyone had a chance to thank him.

The mum was puzzled (疑惑的) at first. As she looked at the check, she had a pleased smile on her face. She looked up, hoping to catch the man before he disappeared from view (视野), but he was already gone.

The moment left a lasting impression on me. It reminded me that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day. It also made me wonder about the man’s story and what led him to do this for strangers on a train.

①As the days are getting colder, you might wish you could turn into a bear and spend the winter sleeping. Your dream may come true, because scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate（冬眠）too!

②Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernation—the “Q neurons（神经元）”. These neurons in animals’ brains can put them into a hibernation situation. The researchers also did operations on mice after turning on the mice’s “Q neurons”. It turned out that during hibernation, the operations were not so harmful to the mice’s bodies.

③According to the team, humans’ “Q neurons” can’t be turned on or off as easily, as the mice’s. But they are confident in copying the mice’s hibernation in humans. That means we could let people “hibernate” when having operation, which will be less harmful to their bodies.

④In recent years, more scientists are waking up to the advantages of hibernation. For example, US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel（多纹黄鼠）hibernates, it cleans out harmful brain plaque（斑块）that is related to（与……有关）Alzheimer’s in humans. The animal’s blood pressure（血压）also goes up and down greatly before and after hibernating. But it doesn’t suffer from any illness related to blood pressure.

⑤Grabek and her team found molecules（分子）from the squirrel that can protect against high blood pressure and heart disease. They hope to find more that may affect human health, and then design medicine.

⑥Some studies in mice showed that, during hibernation, their bodies age more slowly. This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine.

根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

41．What help animals be in a hibernation situation?

A．Q neurons. B．Molecules. C．Blood pressure.

42．What can we learn from Paragraph ② and Paragraph ③?

A．The Q neurons can put animals out of hibernation.

B．Operations are less harmful to bodies during hibernation.

C．Animals’ blood pressure goes up and down greatly during hibernation.

43．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of hibernation?

A．Humans will live longer.

B．Harmful brain plaque will disappear.

C．The bodies will get older more slowly.

44．How does Paragraph ④ develop?

A．By using numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By comparing facts.

45．What is the study written for?

A．To encourage us to hibernate.

B．To introduce what hibernation is.

C．To show us results of the researches on hibernation.

To Be an Excellent Teenager

As middle school students, we should try our best to be an excellent teenager. Here are my advice on how to be an excellent teenager.

As we know, an excellent teenager should be kind, hard-working and helpful. I think we can make it by doing the following things.

First of all, we should realize the importance of being an excellent teenager. As a result, we should show love and duty to our country, people and family. Besides, it is necessary for us to study hard. Studying hard is a good way to make us better. What’s more, we’d better help others and respect the elderly. When we help those in trouble, we can get much happiness. Last but not least, we should love Chinese culture and develop all kinds of interests and hobbies so that we are able to find and enjoy the beauty in life.

If we can do so, we can be an excellent teenager.
